Happy Metal Friday!

I am very excited about the upcoming Scion Rock Fest coming to Atlanta next month! The band list keeps growing and is nothing short of impressive.  Best part- the show is absolutely FREE.  Tickets can be found at record stores around the city but are limited and only a set number will be allowed through the doors.

Track down some tickets and get yourself to Masquerade early or you’ll miss out on one hell of an event!

Hope to see you there!

and then it hit me…

Do you remember the rousing game of Name That Geek we played back in November after my buddy and I went to the Atlanta Supercon?

I was trying to figure out who this guy, dressed as Marcus Fenix from GOW, reminded me of.

Last night I went to see My Bloody Valentine 3D and one of the main characters was exactly who I had been thinking of: Jensen Ackles.

You may not see it- but in my head these two boys have more than one resemblance. There’s the jaw line and something in the mouth area.  Both have deep voices and a certain manner of speaking as well.

I am so relieved to have figured it out! Finally! Not that it’s kept me up at night, but every now and again I’d think back to it and wonder, “Who the hell is that guy?!”

The Pogues are coming to Atlanta!  Not only are they making Atlanta one of only 4 stops in the U.S., but they are bringing the full original lineup including Shane MacGowan!!!

3/9/09 @ The Tabernacle in Atlanta

For those of your unfamiliar with The Pogues, they are a traditional Irish band who rocked stages long before Flogging Molly.  Now, I’m a fan of FM but Shane MacGowan is the greatest Irish singer ever- despite his alcoholism and poor dental hygeine.  Check out their Wiki Page.

“Irish music is guts, balls and feet music, yeah? It’s frenetic dance music, yeah? Or it’s impossibly sad like slow music, yeah?”
